Hi, my name is Louie Valdivia. Recently, my father was arrested, and in the process of looking for him, the police raided my father and stepmother's home where they live with my newborn baby brother, my 7-year-old little sister, and 17-year-old little brother. This is a family home where all of my siblings live and have been raised, including myself.

In the process of raiding the home, they shot multiple cans of tear gas into the house, breaking 5 windows, 2 doors, the front fence and leaving the home uninhabitable for two weeks. After those two weeks, we spent time washing all the walls and throwing away many baby supplies, toys, and furniture for the safety and health of my little brother and little sister.

Our goal is to raise as much money as possible to help offset the cost of repairs for the doors and windows and everything else that has to be replaced, as well as help my stepmother who now has to support the household on her own due to the recent incarceration of my father.
